hi all,
i was wondering if anyone could help me on this one as i cant seem to get the netgear modem to work properly. I originally bought this modem so i didnt have to use the rubbish AOL software and i have set the MTU to 1400 and set it to PPPoE but it just doesnt seem to work

Thanks in advance

It would be useful to set the MTU on the PC too, but that wouldn't stop the router connecting.

What errors are you getting in the router log?

As for setting the MTU on the PC, I'm sure you can tap the relevant search term into google.

Two other things to try mate, your password has to be in lower case regardless of whether you have used capitals when you signed up and secondly using your main account can cause problems due to AOL thinking you are already signed on somewhere hence not letting the router connect, the solution to this one is to go onto AOL and create another account within your main one called something like "router connection" to distinguish it and use that in the router.

Hope this helps.

:)

*edit*

Make sure the firmware is up to date also.
